	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 108, Ortiz.  State employees:  memoranda of understanding.
   Existing law provides that if any provision of a memorandum of
understanding reached between the state employer and a recognized
employee organization representing state civil service employees
requires the expenditure of funds, those provisions of the memorandum
of understanding shall not become effective unless approved by the
Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
   This bill would approve provisions that require the expenditure of
funds of memoranda of understanding entered into between the state
employer and the California State Employees Association and the
California Association of Professional Scientists, and would provide
that the provisions of any memorandum of understanding that require
the expenditure of funds shall become effective even if the
provisions of the memorandum of understanding are approved by the
Legislature in legislation other than the annual Budget Act.
  This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.

  SECTION 1.  The provisions of the following memoranda of
understanding prepared pursuant to Section 3517.5 of the Government
